A community for sharing those miniature epiphanies you have that highlight the oddities within the familiar.

I randomly watched a review of a bunch of different automatic cocktail makers not too long ago, ranging from the cheapest on the market to the most expensive and I found it surprising how all of them basically sucked (I mean, according to the reviewer anyway). I can't see how a pre-programmed thing pouring exact amounts of liquids could fuck up making a cocktail except maybe in doing the crazy layering to make things like a tequila sunrise; but the taste should be spot on every time.
If they can't even make that work, an AI bartender is the least of anyone's concern.
How much of that you recon is set and setting?
Did the reviewers watch the machine make it and expect something "mechanical"?
Wonder what reviews would be if you brought a group at a table in a bar a blind selection of machine and human-made drinks.
Machine-made would probably be worse, but my and many other's thinking as much probably flavors reviews before the pour is made.
